Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Geophysics - University of Delaware

The Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Delaware invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Geophysics. The position will be at the assistant professor level, although exceptional candidates at the associate level will be considered. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, tectonics, geomechanics, observational seismology, and geodynamics. We are interested in a broad range of expertise, but candidates whose research focuses on lithospheric structure and evolution, plate boundary tectonics, earthquake physics, fault system growth and evolution, or mantle dynamics are especially encouraged. We seek a colleague who will complement and build on existing strengths in geosciences at the University. The successful candidate is expected to build an externally funded research program, to be committed to effective teaching and mentoring at all levels, and to contribute to the academic life of the Department and University.

Applicants should submit a cover letter with a list of references, a curriculum vitae, and separate research, teaching, and diversity statements using the University of Delaware online application system at www.interfolio.com. The candidate must have completed a doctoral program by the time of appointment. Review of applications will begin on October 22, 2018, and will continue until the position is filled. Inquiries regarding this position may be addressed to the committee chair, Professor Jessica Warren ([log in to unmask]).
